Ice Cool Code's Professional Web Design Portfolio
Crescent Films, a TV production company Crescent Films, a TV production company

SEO work to bring Crescent Films more visibility on Google and other search engines, along with general site maintenance and improvement upon the existing CMS interface (as implemented originally by another web designer).
jameshurley.co.uk James Hurley, Opera / Theate Director

It was important to provide a coherent and stylish interface to James Hurley's website. Since an online presence to demonstrate past and previous work was required, we looked into ways to keep the format concise and attractive while conveying a lot of information including extensive use of galleries and video. The result: a compact, simple and effective site that presents James's skills and experience as directly as possible.
robbienock.com Robbie Nock, Professional Photographer

We designed Robbie Nock's website with a simple brief: make it out of HTML instead of Flash (more typical for photography sites), to keep Robbie's website properly indexable by search engines — but maintain the ease of use, simplicity and attractiveness of the typical Flash-based portfolio sites. By doing the site in HTML, we were also able to create a content management system for Robbie to reorganise his own photographs and galleries whenever he wanted.
davidhowarth.org.uk David Howarth, MP for Cambridge

We designed David Howarth's website using our Authos Content Management System. As well as providing Mr. Howarth's office with the ability to add news articles, index RSS feeds from the Liberal Democrat central website, and note upcoming events, Authos has fully customizable styles and can interpret PHP code so that additions can be made for individual sites. For example, we added a 'contact us' web form on this site.
lungsatwork.org.uk Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Royal Brompton Hospital

We designed the website for The Department of Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Royal Brompton Hospital, London and National Heart and Lung Institute (Imperial College). It contains extensive DHTML ('Dynamic HTML') which, unusually for a departmental website of its kind, both takes advantage of the many utility-enhancing web technologies available (pop-down menus; expand/contract site sections; online contact page) while also converting gracefully into accessibility browsers or degrading gracefully for browsers without JavaScript or other DHTML capabilities.
tuscanycastello.com TuscanyCastello.com

We conceived and designed this site, which provides information and booking facilities for two holiday houses situated near Lucca in Tuscany. We worked extensively with our clients via email in order to perfect the look and feel of the site. We built the site's attractive sliding menu using Flash, and the site includes DHTML and PHP-based scripting. It has a 'contact us' web form, and we computerised and optimised the photo library, as well as designing photo-display code for the site.
clapagos.org.uk CLAPA GOS

CLAPA GOS is the Great Ormond Street branch of The Cleft Lip and Palate Association, a UK charity. We fixed some of the old code on this site, updated the look and structure, designed an improved navigation system, proofed the content and added a feature for emailing committee members directly from the site using a PHP web form.


Archived Websites
Below are websites we designed which are no longer operational: they have been archived on our server for you to see.

cotswoldscottage.net Pear Tree Cottage, in the Cotswolds

We designed Pear Tree Cottage: The Studio's website as a static website from one of the templates used in our Authos Content Management System. The site has been designed for simplicity and cleanness of layout, and has information about the cottage as well as a 'contact us' form and a printable booking form.
newtpaper.com The Newt

We designed this New College, Oxford newspaper's website in its entirety, including a content management system which allowed the editorial team to create new articles and sections, include pictures and code, and archive an edition at the click of a button. The CMS also orders articles, interprets formatting commands, can search articles, produce headline-graphics on the fly, and is password-protected, and includes MySQL database functionality which enables the messageboard and users-list features that we were later asked to add to the site. Our archive of the original site is here, and the newest iteration of the existing website (which we do not maintain) is Wordpress-powered, at thenewt.co.uk.
crystalcovecap.com Crystal Cove Capital

We designed this Merchant Banking company's website based on an original template-design that was slow, unwieldy and difficult to edit. The new site is fast, and uses dynamic code to order lists of transaction images; it also has a web-based administration panel and a 'contact us' web form. We recreated the previous graphical look with our own graphics tools, at the request of the client.
theolivebranch The Olive Branch: Take a Break in Rural Tuscany!

We designed the website for The Olive Branch by combining the existing publicity — a print flyer the client provided for us — with a clean, simple design that visually complemented it, including muted pastel colours to highlight the bucolic nature of the getaway, and allow the vibrant photographs of Tuscany to shine.
voyager-books.co.uk Voyager Books

We provided consultation for this imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, producing documents with recommendations on search engine optimization, interactivity options, code management, content management and audience targeting.

We regret that an archived version of this site is unavailable for viewing.
